CrazyLawStudent however should have been able to find this by Googling instead of wasting time here for weeks.

Still I am always glad to learn something new. But this looks like a fancy name for a real estate escrow officer since there does not appear to be any real educational requirement except perhaps a Bachelors degree and passing the exam.

It shows it as being an internship basicly. The only way to do it is to have an ABA law degree or to do the internship. I think it is interesting since it appears that a non ABA grad (like CrazyLawStudent clearly appeared to be) would not be allowed to do it without the internship even with a JD or even a full LLM.

If someone wants to do the internship and can find a sponsor, then why not just do the same thing in CA and be a real lawyer instead of the neutered fancier version of a paralegal?

It's an interesting program, but unless you live in that state and have a lawyer to work under it's useless without an ABA JD (which if you have, why would you not just take the regular bar, no one can be that dumb. It would be like an MD taking the CNA exam)

You obviously do not need a JD becuase this does not lead to being a lawyer.

The purpose of this rule is to authorize certain lay persons toselect, prepare and complete legal documents incident to the closing of realestate and personal property transactions and to prescribe the conditions ofand limitations upon such activities.
